Throughout the city, a quiet mania was perceptible. People were smiling. Even people with sophomore essays, theses, and Sanskrit 103 exams impending. People lay motionless on the banks of the Charles, feigning study. People lay motionless in the Yard, feigning study. At Radcliffe, most of the girls were studying, of course, but usually reliable sources told the CRIMSON that several 'Cliffies were seen sitting under trees in the quad, wearing shorts, and feigning study. Elsewhere, people were going for long walks, eating ice cream cones (with jimmies), and playing baseball...

In the morning, he may get more of the same, or a morphine-type drug, or both. Next, atropine to help keep mucus from clogging his air passages. In the operating room at last, a clout of barbiturate (often thiopental sodium) to put him to sleep. Then the anesthesiologist rigs the patient with a mask-or, especially for chest operations, a tube inserted through the mouth and down the windpipe. Even that is not all in many cases...
